Contingent Valuation, Transport Safety and the Value of Life
ISBN: 9780792395782 / Angielski / Twarda / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Creating Cooperation
ISBN: 9780801440694 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Creating Cooperation, Pepper D. Culpepper explains the successes and failures of human capital reforms adopted by the French and German governments in the 1990s. Employers and employees both stand to gain from corporate investment in worker skills, but uncertainty and mutual distrust among companies doom many policy initiatives to failure. Higher skills benefit society as a whole, so national governments want to foster them. However, business firms often will not invest in training that makes their workers more attractive to other employers, even though they would prefer having...

Hall argues that recent historical and intellectual developments require reworking basic assumptions about classes and their dynamics.
